VO : why did you choose this programe

Me: I chose this programe because after majoring in courses like speech language and pathology, psychology and linguistics. I will be able to work with children and help children with speech language difficulties. I can help children develop their ability to communicate. I will offer pediatric speech therapy that will help treat children with communication challenges. Both in how they speak and how they understand communication.
Nigerians lack professionals in this field, in this situation is often tied to spiritual problems in Nigeria. Being professional in this field I will help parents of children with delayed speech seek for medical solutions instead of terming it to spiritual forces or hereditary.

You didn’t mention if you had funding, deficit and Tuition.

Yes you will put the address of the school

You will put your sponsor name there the person you wonna use his/her SOA

PERSONAL OBSERVATION:

Most transcripts I've read here lately keep mentioning that their sponsor (uncle, father, etc) is into "REAL ESTATE".

Now, if you happen to be a VO and up to 70% of persons you interview each day keep repeating the same line when it comes to 'What does your sponsor do?' Won't that be a red flag for you?

I will personally get tired of hearing the term "he is into real estate". Tell me, are there no other ways of saying that? "If actually that's what your sponsor is into"

You have worked so hard and spent a lot to get to this stage. Please don't sound too vague and generalized in your responses or like you are just repeating a line you just copied somewhere online.

All the best to those scheduled for interview this week and the entire month.

What if the uncles are actually into real estate?

That's why he asked if there are no other ways of saying that.
It doesn't have to be my uncle works in Bleep company and has real estate in Bleep where he owns Bleep properties. It's a common line.
I've observed as well.

Imo, you could say, my uncle works in Bleep company and earns Bleep annually. 40% of his earnings are from his company and 60% from family's Housing Business.

I dont understand what you want people to tell you after getting this reply. you want to be told to go ahead that you would eventually be given I-20 to go the embassy? or you dont really understand the english that was used in that reply?.....we Nigerians are so funny

Tamad101:

I see from the initial transcript that the question asked was what will this program do for you? I also guess the answer you only gave what it'll do for others i.e Nigerians, children, you didn't specify how it'll help you improve your carrier/employment when you return, I guess she was looking for home ties, I keep guessing because a VO can deny visa for any reason which is best known to him or her

Anavamii:
Hello guys, Please I want to make travel arrangements to Springfield for January. Which flight is advisable to get now? How can my life be easier. Please help me�

Please I want to confirm if there was a certain remark pm your I-20 because it was stated in mine I have to complete the Prerequisite courses then another I-20 will be issued.

Read the second and third paragraphs.

You got it!

People should be more creative in their responses. I'm not a VO ooooo, but I'm already tired of hearing "he is into REAL ESTATE".

Saying too much about what you were not asked doesn’t earn you a Visa.

I recommended the school to him so I guess he was only giving me a .

I got approved for my F1 visa last week, but when I went to pick up my port, the DHL attendant said it’s under “istrative processing”. I checked the visa status myself and it says the same thing. My school resumes first week of January. I’m confused because the consular officer approved my visa during the interview. Please who has any experience with this issue.

Hi dear, u mentioned that your emergency appointment date was approved recently. Pls Were u denied visa in the last 6months?

HDwayne:
Please can you help with an Emergency appointment request letter sample ? I’d appreciate if you can help sir/Ma..

You just need to wait. I was under istrative processing for more than 2 months. I was supposed to resume in August but had to defer till January. I think there is still a lot of time. You will still get it.

Hi Nairalanders,
I v been following this page, and it was indeed helpful in my preparation for F1 visa interview, which held just some hours ago. However, I have an issue, which I wish to know if anyone has encountered.

I was served a yellow paper, instead of white or blue. The section ticked by the VO reads "your application requires istrative processing. You will be sent supplementary questions by email. Please complete the form and return to [email protected]".

Please, what does this mean? Do I still have a chance? Or is it a denial?

My conditions:
I'm going for a funded PhD program with a deficit if $2600, which my sister will be taking care of. For the interview, the transcript is as follows:

Vo: good morning and please me your port and i-20.

Me: good morning (es the docs).

Vo: I can see you are going to xx school.

Me: yes sir.

Vo: why xx?
Me: because I found a faculty, Dr. ... who does whose research is perfect in line with mine. Dr. .... (I explained further his research work).

Vo: (nodes) what's your plan after studies?
Me: I will return to Nigeria to take up a job in a research institute, where I ll utilize my accumulated knowledge in solving Nigeria's energy problem.

Vo: (nodes and started typing) i can see your sister will sponsor the deficit.

Me: yes sir.

Vo: what does she do?
Me: she works with Bleep company.
Vo: (nodes, brought out a yellow paper and tucked on it) your visa application cannot be concluded kow. We will send you a mail inq couple of days requesting additional info. Quickly reply to the mail, we will get back to you.

Me: thank you sir.

Please, where could the 'coma' originate from?

It could be as a result of your degree major or travel history, or a name hit. I was placed on istrative Processing because I studied Biotechnology in Russia for my MSc. It will only take some time but you will eventually get your visa, if you do everything they ask you to do right. I had to wait for 60 days in my case.

Please. I am having difficulty in paying my SEVIS fee and I cannot request an emergency interview without the the SEVIS fee payment receipt. Please how do I make the payment?

They want to investigate some things about your application and 'claims'. It happened to my brother. His Visa came out within two weeks.
